Effects of Global Hip Versus Isolated Abductors Strengthening Exercises in Patients Withsecondary Piriformis Syndrome

Piriformis Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Global Hip Versus Isolated Abductors Muscles Strengthening Exerciseprogram on Pain, Range of Motion, and Lower Extremity Function in Patients Withsecondary Piriformis Syndrome

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will be a randomized controlled trial. Twenty-four subjects will be assigned randomly by using the lottery method into two groups. Group A will be given a hot pack in addition to the global hip muscles strengthening exercise while group B is the control group which will receive a hot pack in addition to hip abductor strengthening. The time duration will be 6 weeks. Pain intensity will be assessed by NPRS.3 sessions per week will be given for 6 weeks. Outcome measures will be taken at baseline, in 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week.

Clinical Trial Description

Secondary piriformis syndrome is a common condition of extra-spinal sciatica which is related to or around the piriformis muscle and irritates the sciatic nerve. Most cases reported are of secondary piriformis syndrome. Secondary piriformis syndrome is caused due to soft tissue inflammation, and muscular spasms, which result in nerve compression. Inflammation occurs due to trauma on the buttock and piriformis muscle contractures. Strengthening exercise program is another physical technique that has been supported by research in numerous areas, which has effects on the reduction of pain, range of motion, and lower extremity function. This study will aim to compare the effects of global hip muscles and isolated hip abductors muscle strengthening exercise programs on pain, range of motion, and lower extremity function in patients with secondary piriformis syndrome. The study will be a randomized controlled trial. Twenty-four subjects will be assigned randomly by using the lottery method into two groups. Group A will be given a hot pack in addition to the global hip muscles strengthening exercise while group B is the control group which will receive a hot pack in addition to hip abductor strengthening. The time duration will be 6 weeks. Pain intensity will be assessed by NPRS.3 sessions per week will be given for 6 weeks. Outcome measures will be taken at baseline, in 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week. The collected data will be analyzed in the statistical package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.Parametric/Non-parametric tests will be applied after testing the normality of the data. ;
